I'm on the 'buy when it releases' list myself. What they have for Squadron 42 looks like that wing commander's godson people were hoping for, based on the 'vertical slice' video released last December, and if they can polish that up, and do the same with the online version it'll be the space game I'...

Ark: Survival Evolved plus Sea of Thieves in spaaaace. I've been wanting a new space game for a while, in the Elite Dangerous/Descent: Freespace style, but with some of the more fun (to me) elements of Ark: Survival Evolved. Not the dinosaurs, but in the base building and raiding, and the effectiven...

Does anyone know a litrpg that is actually good? https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/litrpg for people who haven't heard of the genre. (Btw feel free to recommend me general VR stories since I like VR stories but I'm specifically asking for a litrpg because I have tried some and many were just bad...

Empyrion - Galactic Survival is on sale for 9.99 It's sort of Space Engineers meets a survival game, with less physics but more fun. You start with a few tools to gather ore, food, and oxygen bottles. A few days later you've built a half scale model of a Venator class Jedi Battle Cruiser (http://st...

Just finished this, I'm up way too late and getting up for work tomorrow is going to be a pain. I'm normally very much not a horror/suspense person, but I think the addition of the kids that you knew weren't actually going to get hurt helped a lot to let me enjoy it without issue. Amazingly well don...

My headcanon is that 'parsecs' is some sort of shortened form of a standard time measurement in some galactic language or other. As the humans in the Star Wars 'verse shouldn't have greek roots, perhaps they have another language for prefixes, eg, "Par Seconds", similar to one of us saying...

The Hunger Games meets dinosaurs and gets eaten by a spinosaur. It's a free to play mod of Ark: Survival Evolved released by the devs as a gateway drug to the main game, but is quite fun to play by itself, no need to buy the full game if you don't like the longer term style 'survival' gameplay. Ther...

I'm looking for good adventure maps to play with my sister and brother-in-law. I'd prefer non-parkour heavy maps, as we all suck at that, but puzzles and story is good. 1.9 version preferred though I can probably figure out how to make earlier versions work. Any suggestions are welcome. I'm about to...

New update, some balancing, and with two changes they made my tier 5 IJN carrier fun to play again. Japanese torpedo bombers now fire in a narrowing cone when manually launched, meaning you can 'snipe' 4 torp hits on stationary or predictable targets if you are willing to risk a longer shot. I got a...

Also priest, a modified version of Amaz's Paletress priest. I was fortunate that he didn't have the legendary that upgrades his armor, or the game might have gone a bit differently. Being able to steal at least 4 minions from people is fun. It has a good record against aggro decks too, though that p...

Servers right now are max 64, with 20-30 being normal for the one I'm on. You can do private servers if you want. The one I'm on is sort of a 'training' server for the eventual MMO, where there will be one massive world, a la Eve Online for everyone to play in. It'll be very much a kingdom simulator...

Lots of new cards with the newest expansion, but forget about that, I want to brag about making a fatigue warrior fatigue himself. It was the most satisfying thing. Ever. (for those who don't know, fatigue warrior spams armor out the wazoo, up to 30-45 sometimes, with control spells/weapons, and for...

There's buildings as well as walls, gates, towers, crafting benches, warehouses etc for the town, and weapons/armor/furniture/furnaces/kilns/clothing etc for 'personal' crafting. There's also animal breeding, warhorse training, jewelry, paintings, taxidermy (of the put a bear head on the wall that y...

It is basically 'only' a multiplayer game. I mean you could make your own server with custom skill caps so you can get all the things, and speed up crafting so you can do all the things, but at the end of a few weeks you'd have a cool city and nothing to do in it. It's more of a village simulator ac...

Some more info since I've been playing for a while. The combat is a bit like Mount and Blade (I haven't tried actual pvp yet beyond sparring with guild members, most 'real' combat so far is from fighting boars, wolves and bears as a hunting party). Horses are slightly different from M&B, but clo...

I like this game, but I think it uses Stress too literally. That means that I can play for 30 minutes, and then not want to go on another run because I might easily lose my highest level guys to a random trash group. This has led to me not actually playing it in a while, despite really liking the co...

Started this the other day (still on steam for 40% off right now) and am fairly impressed. It's an open-world survival/crafting type game, similar to Rust, but with much more community building features and less naked dudes bashing people with rocks. The crafting/skill system is pretty complex, and ...

It's... pretty good... Relative to my expectations it's damned amazing. The haze of the hype and antihype has lifted and all I see is a moderately above average game. The hysteria about it was always unjustified but the hate about it seems unjustified as well. It's swell so far. Yeah you always hav...

Other than actually trapping them in walls, I'm not sure. Realized I could change difficulty level in my first game. I cleared a location of raiders, and then ran into two legendary radroaches in a row, both who dropped some nice loot. Leather right arm with 15% super mutant damage reduction and a P...

Seems to be confirmed that the scrapping things in crafting is a visual bug only, the components will update eventually, you won't lose anything. After watching a twitch streamer a bit today at work , I'm considering starting another run at the highest difficulty. It seems that there's a higher chan...

Scrap all the things! That's... that's pretty much it so far for me. I did enjoy getting thrown straight into some really tough action right off, though I imagine someone new to fallout might have a hard time with it. (first power armor, you'll know it when you get there) Oh, and doggy is best doggy...

Sort-of-necro for news. I've been checking up every so often on this game because of how interesting it looks, and though it seemed for a bit to have been lost in limbo, it looks like it'll get released after all. http://forum.novusaeterno.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14679 I'll be throwing some mone...

By the by, I'm back on the intertubes with a brand new fiber connection, but in my downtime I've lost interest in this game, so you guys are welcome to the stuff on the character I let Chen use. Right now I'm playing hearthstone, LoL, and world of warships. If anyone wants to play drop a note in thi...

I think it helped a bunch that I started right when the german and russian cruisers and destroyers were released, a lot of experienced players are starting the new ship lines. It means I die faster sometimes, but I also learn a lot faster. The first few battles in the battleship (kawachi, tier 3 jap...

Found this game on Twitch a couple weeks ago, and when we finally got our fiber internet hooked up I decided to give it a try. I'm loving it so far, the slowish pace and gauging shell trajectories (a la Worms Armageddon) is pretty satisfying. I'm grinding up the japanese battleship line on the way t...

Not sure why there's no thread for this yet. Chappie is in redbox now, got it the other day. I liked it pretty well, though there are a few 'science doesn't work that way' spots, it still managed to hook me on the story, especially near the end. It also has Wolverine driving a Battlemech, so there's...

Howard Taylor of Schlock Mercenary is kickstarting his Planet Mercenary rpg starting April 15. I'm a fan of the webcomic, though I don't really have the opportunity to play rpgs, but I know a lot of you guys do. According to some recent tweets, it'll include things like armor that actively wants to ...

There's another version, called Shattered Pixel Dungeon that I believe doesn't have item degradation. I haven't played the original since getting it. It adds a few things, like some new items with odd uses, a cloak for the rogue that grants temporary invisibility, a pair of shoes you can feed seeds ...

http://novusaeterno.com/?p=22354 This is a Dev update that talks about future projects, so standard 'we want this but no guarantees it'll see release' caveats apply. That being said, this is awesome. Work Orders Foreign goods are a non-contractual interaction; once you buy them, they are yours. Work...

So my little sister and her fiance' have been playing d3, and I started the starter game to check it out (last played d2 in college 12 years ago). Anyway, my question is this, exactly how rare is the rainbow goblin portal to whimsyshire supposed to be? A website I looked it up on claimed 'very rare'...

If a wood camp in the den is what is needed for gurd, then I have space cleared out for a Den inn that I never built, along with the marapis building materials. That means I should probably just be able to drop a machine in and go, yes? If so I can start that tomorrow perhaps.
